Charles T. Carter

Charles Thurgood Carter was a US Senator from Alabama (D) during the 2010s. Carter was born in Birmingham, Alabama to a Catholic family, and he graduated from the University of Auburn with a degree in information technology, later studying computer science. Carter became the CEO of Al-tech, a local Alabamian technology company. Carter donated to US Democratic Party Super PACs during several elections, and he eventually decided to enter politics himself. He was elected to the Senate, and he was seen as a possible vice presidential pick for fellow American Southerner candidate Tyler Birch during the 2020 election. However, because Senator Birch was a fellow African-American from nearby Louisiana, Carter was not chosen as the running mate, as it would be a very regionalist ticket if the two men ran together.
